Archway People Lyrics

Saint Etienne

[intro sample on You're In A Bad Way version:]
You asked me to make a record of my voice. Well here it is. What you want me to say is 'I love you.' Here's the truth. I hate you, you little slut. You make me sick!


When you told me your dream (when you told me your dream) /
I / wanted to cry. /
You almost looked happy (you almost looked happy) /
Please don't tell me / it's true. /
All our neighbours are old (all our neighbours are old) /
street-lamp buzzes all night. /
There are some nice parts of London, (there are some nice parts of London) /
you can see them from here (you can see them from here, you can see them from here.) /


You're / not going to change, /
we're / not moving away. /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /


We both work `til late, /
catch / the fifty-eight. /
Usually asleep by eleven, (asleep by eleven) /
but somehow it didn't seem right /
when you turned and said (when you turned and said) /
'Let's / go mad tonight.' /
So we drank and danced; (so we drank and danced) /
for once I felt close to you (for once I felt close to you, for once I felt close to you.) /


You're / not going to change. /
we're / not moving away. /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here...)
